Uniforms for The Game

Apparently (according to this article), UM-OSU sometimes used to go "red vs blue" uniforms in the Game (up until the mid 50's or so). The apparent reason for change: hard to distinguish colors on black+white TV.

I am really hoping that Brian and co. take this on and get UM to push for it again. How cool would it be to see home uni vs. home uni in the rivalry of all rivalries? As many of you know, UCLA-USC has been doing this for a while (thanks to "What's your problem?" Pete Carrol).

Here is a colorized pic from the article; weirdly, it looks like Mich vs. Wisc, so not a great point being made here:

So what do you think? Wouldn't this be an awesome addition to The Game?

Not quite right. If both teams agree in writing and the home team's conference vouches for the fact that the colors contrast (really), the away team can wear a non-white jersey. Without these agreements, then there's a fifteen yard penalty at the beginning of each half.

Just few moments before 3 o'clock the Michigan eleven raced onto the field amid a deafening roar of cheering. Immediately following them came Ohio's red-jerseyed eleven with almost as great an ovation.
